Hi,
Let me give more information.
I am trying to build the antenna published in Sep/1981 QST. It is 44 ft high
plus a capacitance hat.
It is 5/8 on 30m, 1/2 on 40m, 1/4 on 80m and 1/8 on 160m (the vertical
portion).
In my case, IT IS NOT on ground. My backyard is about 15 by 15 ft, so i
decide install the antenna in top of mast about 15 ft high, so, radials are
elevated and running over the roof but only till 60 ft, so for 160m i need
do "something" to get match.
I think i must install independent radials for each band to get resonance
cause i am using elevated resonant radials.
Dave, K3ZJ and Bob WP2XX now you have more information.
Thanks in advance

If laid on or under ground, as many as possible and lengths don't matter.
If elevated, need to be resonant, but assume this is not your case.
For excellent info on radials, see:

Don't worry about quarterwave radials. Just put as many short ones as you
can afford!

Hi,
I am building a vertical antenna for low bands, 160, 80, 40 and 30m.
Unfortunately my property is small, so, i can not install quarter wave
radials for 160m. 60ft is maximun length.
If somebody has experience or some information about short radials
systems
or some article published please let me know.
Thanks !!!
